Bouchard will play in Rio Games
Eugenie Bouchard has confirmed that she will represent Canada at the Rio Olympics, putting to rest any doubts about the participation of the country’s top-ranked women’s tennis player. Bouchard was named to the Olympic team by Tennis Canada, but was said she would wait until “the last minute” to decide whether she’d accept the spot. She had expressed concerns about the Zika virus and safety in Rio. Bouchard will join Gabriela Dabrowski, Vasek Pospisil and Daniel Nestor to make up the Canadian contingent at the Games.
